Captives Freed
The Ugandan army reports it liberated in December 374 people being held by the Lords
Resistance Army (LRA), killed 46 of the rebels, and took the surrender of eight more. [The
anti-government LRA rebels, with bases in nearby Sudan, kidnap children from their home
villages in the north of the country and turn them into soldiers, meanwhile sexually abusing
and mutilating many of them.] (New Vision, Internet, 12/31/03)
Child Victims of Cult-like Group
The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), an anti-government group in Northern Uganda,
kidnaps children from villages in the region, virtually enslaves them, and then throws out
the badly damaged who do not die in the service of leader Joseph Kony. He is a former
altar boy who reportedly has 60 wives, wears women‘s dresses, proclaims a connection with
the angels, and believes that God has chosen him to overthrow the Ugandan government
and make the Ten Commandments the law of the land.
A 14-year-old in a hospital in Gulu that cares for LRA victims told how he was ordered to
join others in killing, with clubs, another child who had disobeyed a random order not to eat
at 4pm. The children were told the order was a message from the angels.
Hospital patients injured by the LRA included a girl with a steel pin in her leg, one with
spinal damage who may not walk again, and a girl terribly disfigured when other children
were ordered to cut off her nose, ears, and lips as a warning to the Ugandan community not
to fight the rebels. One result of the LRA terror is that thousands of Ugandan children are
flooding into the towns to avoid kidnapping. (Hilary Andersson, BBC News, Internet, 7/5/03)
LRA forces in mid-June attacked Adjumani Catholic Parish and abducted 15 children from
the Redeemer Orphanage Centre. A previous attack on Adjumani took place in 1991.

Children Rescued
Following hard fighting, government forces freed over 100 children who had been abducted
by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in northern Uganda. (Ali Mao, New Vision, Internet,

LaRouche
Recruit’s “Suicide” Questioned
German police are reviewing their investigation of the death in March of Jeremiah Duggan, a
British student, and Jew, who had traveled to Germany for what he thought was an anti-war
conference run by the publication Nouveau Solidarité, only to discover that he had actually
joined the Schiller Institute, led by the anti-Semitic Lyndon LaRouche. The LaRouche
political organization is alleged to pressure young people to believe in a Jewish-American
conspiracy to take over the world.
Duggan died after reportedly running into the path of two vehicles. The police assumed it
was suicide, but a report requested by British authorities indicates that no autopsy was
performed and police took no official signed statements from witnesses, which were in any
case contradictory.
Duggan‘s family says that the 22-year-old was studying at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and that
when he learned of LaRouche‘s anti-Semitic background he declared he was Jewish and fled
the place he was staying with the group. But first, they say, he called his girlfriend in Paris
saying he was ―under too much pressure.‖ Then he called his mother, again expressing his
acute anxiety and wish to go home. As he was giving his location, the phone line was cut
off.
